Hello, and welcome to the homepage of the United Confederation of Iridia!

The Confederation of Iridia is a progressive Caesar nation, with two main houses of government: The larger Eastern Congress and the somewhat smaller Western Congress, each representing East and West Iridia, respectively. Any bills must be passed in both houses and then signed by the President in order to take effect. If the President vetoes a law it is sent back to the houses, where it can be automatically put into action with a majority of 80% or more. Similarly, if a bill fails to reach a majority in either of the houses but is supported by the other house and the President, it can be approved with an 80% majority from the two houses combined; this is a rare occurrence, but has been known to happen from time to time.
